The a2x program depends on having docbook-xml-dtd-4.2 present.
If it is not present, the program tries to connect to the internet, which fails in networkless situations.

Example, running a2x manually after I hit it in a package:
$ /usr/bin/a2x -d manpage -f manpage -v man/mylvmbackup.1.txt
a2x: eval: asciidoc --doctype=manpage  -d manpage -b docbook "man/mylvmbackup.1.txt"
a2x: eval: cd "man"
a2x: eval: xsltproc  --stringparam callout.graphics 0         --stringparam navig.graphics 0         --stringparam admon.textlabel 1         --stringparam admon.graphics 0 --nonet         "/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/manpage.xsl" "/home/robbat2/mylvmbackup-svn/man/mylvmbackup.1.xml"
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd

Well, I've added asciidoc-8.2.7 with additional dependency:
app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets
With that a2x still issues warnings about failed to load external entity but works and generates pages. So a2x can work without docbook-xml-dtd as I see. I think bug is fixed.
